Di Durston.  Ferguson Farm.  ‘A’ Unidentified Found Rose. 
This was to be a rare Old Rose treat. An invitation to visit four unidentified old roses came in 2011; there were four Tea Roses growing in the side garden of the wooden and now wobbly cottage that was built around 1920 in the Ferguson Valley. …… I needed to act quickly, as a demolition order was in place from the local government to remove the old building. I gathered together three extra ‘Tea Bags’[Tea Rose authors]: Jenny Jones, Billy West and Hillary Merrifield, and Gay Dutton, another rose friend, joined the expedition on a very wet and windy day.  What we found were four Tea Roses. Ferguson Valley ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, and ‘D’.   ‘C’ was a pink/mauve/red......

There has been speculation on www.helpmefind.com that “Kombacy Elyena” / “Joanna” / “Mary Ann Murray” etc. might be the true Francis Dubreuil. Early references say it was very similar to the true Souvenir de Thérèse Levet, but the former had a white nub to the petals, and the latter a yellow one. The colour of petal nubs can vary with the season. A lady of 90 gave Leonie K a rose which her father, a Frenchman, had grown for many years as Souvenir de Thérèse Levet, which appears identical to “Joanna”. Was he sold a mislabel or a substitution, or the true Souvenir de Thérèse Levet?

Editor.  Mystery Teas in Australia. 
“Kombacy Elyena” and “Robert’s Red Tea” in Victoria; Rookwood “Mary Ann Murray” and “Stephi’s Red”; “Joanna” in Queensland; “Ferguson Valley Deep Purple Pink” in WA.  Flowers through winter. Buds can be swan-necked, foliaceous sepals. Blooms are medium size, often hanging, very double, can ball. White nub to petal base, with a silvery reverse. Raspberry lolly scent, not pleasant to all; but it is the only rose a woman who had lost her sense of smell could detect, and to her it was sweet.  Hips don’t persist. New growth and prickles burgundy. Medium growth.  Susceptible to mildew.

Barbara May & Jane Zammit. ‘Stephi’s Red” This rose is named for Stephanie Murphy who found her. Some have thought that she may be ‘Princesse de Sagan’, however the jury is still out on that one. There are several plants remaining across Rookwood so she was clearly popular over a period of time.
